Reference for Ketubot 45:5

פשיטא לא ראינוה אינה ראיה לא צריכא דדיירי בחצר אחד מהו דתימא אם איתא דנתקדשה קלא אית לה למילתא קא משמע לן דעבדי אינשי דמקדשי בצנעא

[But] this is obvious! “We have not seen” is no evidence! It is necessary for the case when they dwelt in one courtyard; one might say, “If she had been betrothed it would have been known,” therefore it teaches us there are people who get betrothed in private.
